A nanny accused of murdering a child in her care and brandishing the child's severed head outside a metro station smiled after admitting 'Allah ordered' her to carry out the act.
Gulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old mother of three sons, also replied 'yes' when asked if she accepted her guilt as she entered the courtroom in Moscow, Russia.
In scenes that shocked the world, the hijab-wearing nanny was seen walking the streets of Moscow brandishing the head of Nastya Meshcheryakova for an hour before she was detained by police, the Daily Mail reports.
Her appearance in court comes a day after a police source revealed she had kept her schizophrenia a secret and was 'kicked on to the streets' after a divorce.
Bobokulova, who the Russian press has dubbed 'the bloody nanny' was asked as she walked towards the court room handcuffed to a police officer why she killed the child, and she replied: 'Allah ordered me.'
And asked in court if she pleaded guilty, she nodded yes. Questioned if she felt sorry about the girl, she shook her head, evidently meaning no. Inside the court cage, she smiled and waved to journalists.
Speaking in broken Russian from the suspect's cage, Bobokulova said: 'Allah is sending a second prophet to give news of peace' and also complained that she was 'hungry', had not been fed and would 'die in a week'.
Investigator Olga Lapteva, who was clearly emotional, told the court that Bobokulova was suspected of committing an 'extremely serious crime' and that she should face 'a mandatory prison sentence of considerably more than three years.'
Police apparently now believe that she was not the instigator of the crime.
She has confessed to killing the child but police are now searching for the mystery man who evidently had a relationship with her - and is suspected of radicalising her.
It was revealed today that police suspect a boyfriend or husband visited her at the Meshcheryakov family flat on the day the girl was killed.
The child was killed between 8am and 8.40am.
An investigator told the court: 'The accomplices of the suspect, or we better say the instigators, are currently at large.'
